Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite:
1 Kings 21:28 Meaning and Commentary
1 Kings 21:28
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite After he was gone from Ahab, and Ahab had been some time in this humble posture; the Targum calls it the word of prophecy, and so it was, as the next verse shows: saying: as follows.
26
He behaved in the vilest manner by going after idols, like the Amorites the LORD drove out before Israel.)
27
When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and fasted. He lay in sackcloth and went around meekly.
28
Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite:
29
“Have you noticed how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself, I will not bring this disaster in his day, but I will bring it on his house in the days of his son.”
